Haunting Tales of a Victorian Crime- The Ghost of Fanny Adams

Alton in Hampshire, England, is home to a particular tragic and haunting story. A story that captured newspapers and imaginations at the time and would go on to create macabre words and phrases that are still used today but for whom few know the dark, etymological root.  In today's episode we step back into 1867 to explore a haunting Victorian crime that devastated a community- shadows of which may still be present today. As always, thank you for listening. If you want to get your hands on The Feminine Macabre Volume I, II or III then make sure to take a look at https://spookeats.com/femininemacabre/ or via Amazon.
